Hi James,
very nice model! When I saw your APT design some days ago I immediately
thought of how the tilting mechanism would have been great for a model of
ETR500.
I hope I have enough green bricks to actually build your ETR500, and maybe
try and figure out myself the tilting mechanism from your description. You
didn't post any picture, did you?
BTW, I'm going to join the Dark Side too and enlarge the ranks of the 8-wide
Evil Empire :-)
Ciao
Mario
